This Father's Day is rather bittersweet for me for missing my father and my son..

My father was the world to me and I thank and honor him everyday of my life. I loved him and respected him. He was a very proud and family oriented man who would do anything in the world for his family and those he loved. I have strived to live up to that image to varying degrees of success with my life. I love you Dad.

Joseph ..I never got to be with you in person but you are in my heart, soul and blood as you are in your mother's. i love you and always will...The thoughts, possibilities and hope that was you lives on in both of us...Your spirit lives on and that comforts us..

I wrote this and have redited it a bit but I thought i would share it..

ciao, jas

To have snuggled close
In restful sleep
To feel your heart
Beside us beat
Beneath our touch
A soft sweet sigh
The love for our baby
That will never die.

I would have given my soul
To have watched you grow
But fate intervened
As you know

But now you are gone..
but still you are here
In our lives always
as we sense you everywhere

This bond we can not sever
The child we had, but never met
But still will have forever

So we give to you
This love we have
Forever in our hearts
As we travel life's path
